VARIETY

"A story of obsession turned actualization, with a palpably pulp script shot so bare that the images are open to projection and interpretation, inviting the viewer’s complicity in the voyeur experience."—Diana Drumm, Cineaste Magazine

Bette Gordon's Variety is a fascinating independent film that challenges common notions about feminism and pornography — a sexually charged tale of a woman's journey of self-discovery. Christine (Sandy McLeod), a bright and unassuming young woman, takes a job selling tickets at a porno theater near Times Square. Instead of distancing herself from the dark and erotic nature of this milieu, she soon develops an obsession that begins to consume her life.

A Blood & Butts Selection

Blood & Butts

What’s in a name? Well, in this case, everything. We’ve got blood and butts to burn in these rowdy and ribald rooftop titles. From road trips to sandy beaches to kung fu vengeance neo-blaxploitation thrillers, this series delivers on its promise.
